Bulls Looking For Third Straight Win To Start Their Season
The Chicago Bulls play host to the Detroit Pistons at United Center on Saturday evening.

This marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Bulls (2-0), as they are coming off an impressive, 128-112, home win over the Pelicans on Friday evening in their home-opener. They jumped out to a strong start in the contest with a, 28-17, lead after one quarter and they pushed their lead to 18, by halftime. The Bulls did not look back from there on their way to their second straight win to start the season. Zach LaVine led the way in the win with 32 points on 11-of-19 shooting, six rebounds, five assists and a block, while DeMar DeRozan followed up with 26 points, six rebounds and four assists, and Lonzo Ball totaled 17 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, three steals and a block. Coby White (shoulder) missed Friday's contest and will remain sidelined through Saturday's action.

The Bulls already met with Pistons this season, as they faced off in their season-openers. The Bulls came out on top with a, 94-88, win, as they dominated te second half after a slow start.

The Pistons (0-1) will be looking to bounce back from the loss, as they get set for their first road game of the season. Unfortunately, the league's top draft pick, Cade Cunningham (ankle) has yet to make his season debut and is expected to remain out through Saturday. Jeremi Grant was the Pistons' high-point man with 24, in their first contest, while Saddiq Bey had a solid outing with 13 points, nine rebounds and four assists. Isaiah Stewart totaled 12 points, eight rebounds and a block in the contest, while Kelly Olynyk was the only other player to score in double digits for the Pistons, with 10 points, of the bench.
